This is BBC World News Today with me, Tim Willcox. | :00:07. | :00:08. | |
President Putin stops all Russian flights to Egypt. | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
They'll remain suspended until it's known what Saturday's plane crash. | :00:14. | :00:15. | |

As campaigning ends in Myanmar - President Thein Sein says his | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
government and the army will respect the outcome of Sunday's election. | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
Rescuers in Brazil search for survivors after a village is | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
In training with Tim Peake, as he prepares to become the first | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
official British astronaut to go to the International Space Station. | :00:46. | :00:54. | |
A week after a Russian jet crashed after taking off from the Egyptian | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, Moscow has halted all flights to | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
bring home around 45,000 Russian tourists. | :01:04. | :01:19. | |
Meanwhile, there's been confusion for British holidaymakers in Sharm | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
The first two British planes to leave the resort | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
since the government suspended flights have landed in the UK, | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
but hundreds of passengers have had their flights cancelled | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
Our Middle East Correspondent Orla Guerin has spent the day with | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
Well, the number of Britons who managed to | :01:33. | :01:42. | |
leave here today and get back to the UK was far less than expected. | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
One airline, easyJet, was blaming the Egyptian | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
authorities, claiming that they were blocking flights from landing. | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
Officials here, for their part, said many of those flights never | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
had permission to come here in the 1st place. | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
They have also been complaining about the mountains of luggage being | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
left behind by the holiday-makers, saying this is interfering with | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
Some of those we met here today said that in spite of the enhanced | :02:01. | :02:10. | |
security measures, they were still nervous about flying out of Sharm | :02:11. | :02:19. | |
el-Sheikh, and many who are unsuccessful will have to come back | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
Checking under the hood at the entrance to a report, | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
Local tell us it is not always like this. | :02:27. | :02:38. | |
Homeward bound, Michaela from London, who came to celebrate her | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
18th birthday in Egypt with her mum, | :02:43. | :02:55. | |
Mia, facing long queues for a thorough security check, | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
unlike the flight they took just days ago. | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
Today is very, very different, because last time, | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
we just rushed through and it was a domestic flight so I | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
don't think the security was very good. | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
Well, there are tight security measures here today. | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
Passengers and aircrew are being patted down. | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
Bags are being carefully screened and the staff are very happy | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
Those returning to the UK are travelling light. | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
There are no suitcases going in the hold for security reasons. | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
That is because of concerns that a bomb could be | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
smuggled on board with the luggage, as may have happened last Saturday. | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
Russia is still burying those killed in the skies here. | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
Now, it too has suspended flights, to any airport | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
in Egypt, a devastating blow by a staunch ally. | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
Amidst all the security measures today, we saw a local company | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
In theory, that gets passengers to the top of the queue for screening, | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
but we saw some walking away, perhaps to be checked elsewhere. | :03:48. | :03:55. | |
The British Embassy are a waste of time. | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
The British ambassador to Egypt, John Casson, was being pursued | :04:00. | :04:15. | |
by the media and some irate passengers at the airport. | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
He blamed complicated logistics, not Egyptian obstructions, | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
Are the flights going out today, then? | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
Our aim is to get as many people home as soon as possible. | :04:27. | :04:34. | |
And of course our priority is to get home...Give people a chance to get | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
home who have been waiting since the flights were cancelled | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
It will take a little bit of time and I know | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
how frustrating it is to not know exactly how long it is going to take | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
For Mia and her daughter, it could take another day. | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
We've just been told there are no planes to take us home. | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
They're waiting for some planes to come over | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
from England and I just spoke to them just now and they have said | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
they thought it was very doubtful we would be flying home today. | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
We were really geared up for going home. | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
Some did manage to make that journey, on two easyJet flights. | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
These photos were sent to us by Sarah Cotterell, | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
She, her sister, and their five teenage children, had been trying | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
And the first flight stranded Britons has now arrived back in the | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
Some were overcome with emotion when they touched down on home soil. | :05:31. | :05:43. | |
We were at Sharm airport on Wednesday night and they announced | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
there was bad weather and we were hearing from home that it was | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
because of a terror threat or a bomb threat or something. | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
The first flight of stranded Britons has now arrived back | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
in the UK, but long after all the holiday-makers come home, there will | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
be lasting damage to Egypt's tourist industry and its reputation. | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
Well, the airport terminal is a lot calmer now. | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
The crowds have disappeared for the moment. | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
There was a great deal of chaos and anger here today. | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
Things certainly didn't go according to plan. | :06:11. | :06:11. | |
We believe that by the end of the day, only eight flights will | :06:12. | :06:23. | |
We saw holiday-makers turning up, many with young children, | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
spending hours inside the terminal, herded into departures. | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
In some cases, to be herded back out into the departure area and | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
And then, of course, for the authorities in Cairo, | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
that massive blow during the course of the day, the decision by | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
the Russians to halt their flights not only here to the Red Sea resort | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
airport in this country. Now, the Russians are the mainstay of tourism | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
here. Many business owners have said to me, without them, there is no | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
tourism here, so there is vitally needed revenue at stake but | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
this is also a massive dent to Egypt's international reputation and | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
of course the authorities in Cairo will be worrying out how many more | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
countries might decide to follow suit and effectively make travel to | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
Our Moscow correspondent, Steve Rosenberg, says the suspension | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
of flights represents a change of heart from the Russians. | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
The Kremlin doesn't normally do U-turns, | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
Around lunchtime today, I spoke to President Putin's press secretary. | :07:27. | :07:34. | |
He said that the UK hadn't shared any intelligence with Moscow. | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
He said he didn't know what the UK was basing its intelligence on. | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
And it seemed at that time that Russia was quite happy to allow | :07:41. | :07:48. | |
its planes to carry on flying to Egypt. | :07:49. | :07:50. | |
What's more, yesterday, a Russian official accused Britain | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
of trying to put psychological pressure on Moscow by suspending | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
Well, tonight, Russia too has suspended flights, all flights, | :07:55. | :08:07. | |
to Egypt, and although the Kremlin is insisting that it is still | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
keeping an open mind about the causes of this disaster, it does | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
seem as if Moscow now believes it may have been a bomb that caused | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
The US says it's to boost security for US-bound flights | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
from some airports in the Middle East as a precaution, following | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
The move was announced by the Homeland Security Secretary, | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
Jeh Johnson, who said the US would review its assessments | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
of foreign airports and introduce tougher screening of luggage | :08:32. | :08:33. | |
Two people are confirmed to have been killed after a dam burst | :08:34. | :08:48. | |
in Southeastern Brazil - flooding a large area with toxic sludge. | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
Officials near the town of Mariana say dozens more people are missing. | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
Efforts to find survivors are being hampered because of fears | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
For the very latest, I spoke to our correspondent in Rio | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
Our correspondent Julia Carneiro joins us from Rio de Janeiro. | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
What is the latest? The pictures look truly dreadful. Yes, the | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
situation on the ground is very daunting. It is hard to get there. | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
Helicopters have been flying over the area for the whole day, looking | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
for people stranded in the middle of all that mugs. Since morning, many | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
people have been evacuated and taken to the city of Mariana. It is an old | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
colonial town but it is about 23 kilometres away from the area that | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
was hit. The areas hit are all rural districts and there was a press | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
conference with authorities there they said that a total of 5 | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
different districts where hips, that this river of sludge that stream | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
from the dam that burst its as far as about 60 kilometres away from the | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
area, so it really extended through a huge area, leaving a trail of | :10:00. | :10:07. | |
devastation, ruined houses and the environmental impact that it may | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
have caused is still unclear and still being assessed. And what about | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
the number of dead and injured? Are there any preliminary figures about | :10:16. | :10:22. | |
that? Yes, there is 1 death confirmed and there was 1 body that | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
was found in a river around 100 kilometres away, so authorities have | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
still not confirmed that is related to this or not. It seems that many | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
people managed to escape, because the area is so great that there was | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
a little bit of time from the moment that it became clear that the dam | :10:41. | :10:48. | |
had burst until people... So many people managed to flee, managed to | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
find safe points in higher areas and many people who were stranded in | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
these higher areas for hours until they were rescued by helicopter is, | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
but there are still at least 13 people that are unaccounted for, | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
that are missing, and rescue operations continue even in these | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
very difficult conditions to try to find them. And what actually | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
happened with the dam? Was it being repaired or was there some sort of | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
fault? What happened? It came out now that it was actually 2 dams that | :11:24. | :11:31. | |
burst. The higher 1 burst 1st and cause the 2nd 1 at a lower level to | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
give in. These were dams that stored residue from Ireland or -- ire ore | :11:38. | :11:48. | |
mining operations in the area and it is not clear what happened but 1 | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
thing that is being considered is there was moderate seismic activity | :11:55. | :11:56. | |
in the area just an hour or so before the 1st dam bursts of that is | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
1 of the possibilities that is being investigated here by the | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
authorities. OK. Thank you very much. | :12:07. | :12:08. | |
President Obama has rejected plans to build | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
a controversial oil pipeline from Canada to the United States. | :12:13. | :12:14. | |
He said the Keystone XL pipeline wasn't in the national interest - | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
it wouldn't boost the US economy or the country's energy security. | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
The oil industry has been lobbying for the pipeline, | :12:23. | :12:24. | |
and contenders for the Republican presidential candidacy have | :12:25. | :12:26. | |
A strike at Lufthansa has forced the cancellation of 290 flights | :12:27. | :12:34. | |
in Germany and left nearly 40,000 passengers grounded. | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
Lufthansa's main cabin crew union called a week-long strike starting | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
from Friday, after last-minute talks between staff | :12:43. | :12:44. | |
and management over early retirement benefits and pensions broke down. | :12:45. | :12:52. | |
A spokesman for Sepp Blatter has told the BBC that the suspended Fifa | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
president is recovering following a medical incident. | :12:56. | :12:57. | |
Doctors have placed him under evaluation with | :12:58. | :12:59. | |
his spokesman explaining that the pressure he is currently under | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
The 79-year-old was provisionally suspended for 90 days in October | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
amid the worst corruption scandal in the history | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
Myanmar's President, Thein Sein, has promised his government | :13:11. | :13:21. | |
and the Burmese army will respect the result of the general election. | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
Speaking on television, the President said he believed that the | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
vote, to be held on Sunday, would be free and fair and would reflect | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
The opposition National League for Democracy, led by Aung San Suu | :13:31. | :13:38. | |
Kyi, is expected to make big gains, against the governing Union | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
Solidarity Development Party, which has just held its last big rally. | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
Our Myanmar correspondent Jonah Fisher was at that rally in Yangon. | :13:45. | :13:54. | |
Myanmar's ruling party knows it is going to lose this election. | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
Back in 2010, it won nearly 60% of the vote and nearly 60% | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
This time round, Aung San Suu Kyi and the National League for | :14:04. | :14:20. | |
The question is how many seats can the USDP hold onto? | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
Why will you be voting for the USDP? | :14:28. | :14:29. | |
The president has brought many changes in Myanmar. | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
He makes things happen and we like it. | :14:35. | :14:36. | |
He has brought lots of improvements in many areas, like new roads. | :14:37. | :14:38. | |
So this leaflet is being handed out at the rally. | :14:39. | :14:50. | |
It doesn't say it is from the USDP, but it is | :14:51. | :14:58. | |
religious in its content and it specifically says the general's | :14:59. | :15:12. | |
daughter - that is a reference to Aung San Suu Kyi - may allow Muslim | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
our country, a reference to one of the hottest topics in this election, | :15:17. | :15:26. | |
the treatment of Muslims and specifically the Rohinge Muslims | :15:27. | :15:28. | |
in the western part of this country and the suggestion that has been | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
made throughout this campaign by the Buddhist nationalists that | :15:33. | :15:39. | |
Aung San Suu Kyi would be a pro-Muslim choice. | :15:40. | :15:41. | |
Do you think it is inevitable that the USDP is going to lose a lot | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
It might not be the largest party, but we hope to form the Government | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
Do you think the Burmese people would accept | :15:50. | :15:58. | |
your party staying in power if they have lost the election? | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
Even if it is not what the people have voted for? | :16:02. | :16:03. | |
But we cannot change democracy overnight. | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
All the USDP needs is respectability, perhaps just 20% of | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
the seats could see Thein Sein return as president, but if the NLD | :16:14. | :16:30. | |
wins a landslide and the USDP are routed, the Army may well feel | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
that it has lost control and that may be one scenario where | :16:37. | :16:46. | |
where this experiment with democracy comes to a | :16:47. | :16:48. | |
With me now is Robert Cooper, Special Advisor at the European | :16:49. | :16:50. | |
Did you ever expect to see what we are going to see this Sunday? No. It | :16:51. | :17:04. | |
is remarkable. Is she going to be able to do it? The bar is very | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
high. Well, 25% of the parliament are appointed by the | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
commander-in-chief, so if she wants to get a simple majority in the | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
parliament, she has got to win 67% of the remaining seats. Not many | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
countries where any single party does that. And what sort of momentum | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
do you think she has at the moment? Do you think she will get passed 50% | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
if she does not get to 67% and think there is a very good chance she will | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
get passed 50%. If you see any of her rallies, there are people as far | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
as the eye can see. She has enormous power across the country. All kinds | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
of people. Once, a taxi driver took me to her house, a very poor taxi | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
driver, and refused to take any money for it. Do you think they will | :17:53. | :18:01. | |
be as free and fair as any election in me and Mark can be? I think there | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
is a very good chance. There will be 1000 international observers and | :18:09. | :18:16. | |
10,000 local observers. -- Myanmar. If you want to fix an election, that | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
is not a smart thing to do. So even though there is lots of skulduggery | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
in the campaign and lots of money flowing around and people being | :18:27. | :18:28. | |
banned from travelling to certain places and so on, but by the | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
standards of Myanmar, this is still pretty good. And just explain why | :18:33. | :18:39. | |
constitutionally, she is unable to become president even if she were to | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
get that 67% of the vote. When the constitution was invented in 2008, | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
and on the face of it, the purpose of the Constitution looks as if it | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
is to keep the military in power for ever, they invented a special clause | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
which said nobody who had children with foreign passports can become | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
president. Or Vice President, actually. This was clearly designed | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
to stop her. What sort of numbers are we expecting to be voting on | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
Sunday? And are all Burnley 's -- Bernie 's people voting -- Burmese | :19:14. | :19:34. | |
people voting? Well, there is a real problem where the Rohinges have been | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
excluded. There are also difficulties with registration. | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
Nevertheless, for a country which hasn't had an election, a really | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
election, for 50 years, this is something which the country must be | :19:50. | :19:57. | |
massively excited about. Me too. Thank you very much indeed. | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
The challenges facing the crew of the International Space Station | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
were brought home again today when two astronauts on a space walk | :20:04. | :20:05. | |
had to contend with a toxic leak and minor damage to a glove. | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
Kjell Lindgren and Scott Kelly were a couple | :20:10. | :20:10. | |
of hours into a six-hour outing to do repairs to the station's cooling | :20:11. | :20:14. | |

However, Mission Control insisted the two men were in no danger. | :20:20. | :20:26. | |

Our Science Editor David Shukman has this report. | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
Tim Peake makes it all look rather easy - going through a long | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
and tough training programme to venture into space. | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
One way to get ready is to practise under water. | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
And here he's being put through the drills that will prepare him | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
His final news conference before lift-off. | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
REPORTER: Will you just admit to us a tiny little bit of fear | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
Um, the only fear I have is of forgetting something at this stage. | :21:12. | :21:19. | |
I'm in transit from Houston on my way to Russia. | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
I'm rapidly wracking my brain as to what I might have possibly | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
In terms of the mission, I honestly don't have any fears at all. | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
That's partly because the training's been so thorough. | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
He's had to use skills he first learned as a scout and after the | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
dark confines of a cave, it'll be easier to endure a tiny spaceship. | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
Here at the Science Museum in London, | :21:42. | :21:43. | |
this is the kind of Soyuz capsule Tim Peake will be climbing into, | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
It looks old-fashioned but it is tried and tested and it is the most | :21:48. | :21:55. | |
After a six-hour flight, he'll reach the International Space | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
Station, orbiting high above Earth and he'll live here with five others | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
The first British astronaut on board. | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
But right now he is just trying to stay safe. | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
I'm trying to always watch where I step and not twist an ankle, fall | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
So what advice from a fellow astronaut, Helen Sharman, who flew | :22:15. | :22:21. | |
Sometimes it is important to do a little bit for yourself at the end. | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
And that part of looking out at the Earth and then other | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
In a matter of weeks, Tim Peake will be leaving Earth | :22:31. | :22:37. | |
It's the stuff football dreams are made of. | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
The English side Salford City will be hoping for a bit of FA Cup magic | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
on Friday when they take on Notts County in the first round | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
Now it's likely you you've never heard of Salford City. | :22:50. | :23:01. | |
But, if you love football, you'll know their owners who are | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
some of Manchester United's most celebrated players. | :23:05. | :23:06. | |
Our Sports Correspondent David Ornstein reports. | :23:07. | :23:08. | |
The rise of non- league Salford City is a story of graft and glamour. | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
Less than 2 years ago, this was a club in the 8th tier of English | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
football, with little hope for the future. Now part owned by some of | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
the game's biggest names and promoted this season, their moment | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
in the spotlight has arrived. Salford City came through for | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
qualifying rounds to reach the FA Cup qualifying round for the 1st | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
time and they got there in spectacular fashion. Tonight, they | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
host league to Notts County, 3 divisions above them, the world's | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
oldest professional football club and winners of this competition in | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
1894. Salford City's journey owes much to the so-called class of 92. | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
The club was taken over last year by former Manchester United players | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
Ryan Giggs, Phil and Gary Bartz, and other players who have never | :24:01. | :24:07. | |
forgotten the roots. It would be nice, the links that we have got | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
with Salford, to give the people of Salford something to be proud of. It | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
is a great city and for me personally so many great memories | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
growing up. So now they are all taking a back-seat. Their biggest | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
test has yet to come and if they're going to pass that they will have to | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
do so without their top scorer. I have been lucky enough to be in this | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
position before and I just know the excitement that all the lads will be | :24:37. | :24:38. | |
feeling. They will be nervous but chomping at the bit. Because it is a | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
winnable game. It is not against Liverpool or Man United. We have got | :24:45. | :24:52. | |
a good chance. And if they beat Notts County, they will be 1 win | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
away from a potential meeting with a Premier League club. That would put | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
Salford City into a class of their own. | :25:00. | :25:00. | |
Before we go, take a look at this stunning timelapse shot | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
Here, enormous clouds looking much like a towering tsunami were | :25:05. | :25:12. | |
captured rolling in over the city's eastern suburbs. | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
Clear blue skies gave way to the sudden storm front, | :25:18. | :25:19. | |
bringing with it strong winds and hailstorms across much of Sydney. | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
Beach goers were also put on high alert after a severe weather | :25:24. | :25:26. | |
warning was issued across parts of the city's coastline. | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
Russia has suspended all flights to Egypt until because of Saturday's | :25:31. | :25:42. | |
plane crash has been discovered. The Kremlin says it will try to bring | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
security up to what it called a proper level and just before we go, | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
we just received these images from Russia, where the funeral of 1 of | :25:51. | :25:58. | |
the pilots of the aeroplane has been taking place. | :25:59. | :26:01. | |

Good evening to you. It is an improving picture but some places | :26:20. | :26:26. | |
still cloudy, spots of rain. The weather has cleared up nicely for | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
